The newlywed was so moved when she received photos of five tiny dresses made with her gown that she wrote an emotional post about them on Facebook — which quickly went viral. It has 57,000 (and counting!) shares from Trimble’s personal account alone.

“A mix of emotions swept over me when I received [the photos]; pride that I’d done something good, sadness that it’s necessary for these gowns to have to be made, relief that I’ve never known this heartbreak, and a sense of thankfulness that volunteers around the country give up their time to produce such comforting garments,” Trimble wrote.

Her post garnered so much attention that the charity has temporarily suspended dress donations, as they’ve been deluged with offers.

Trimble has recently taken to Facebook again, writing, “Cherished Gowns were receiving donations within 30 minutes of my post and their tally so far stands at 2,500 emails, approx. 1,500 FB messages, and just under 4,500 dresses being pledged. They’ve got extra volunteers as a result, and many, many more babies will now be able to be dressed in a beautiful gown instead of dolls’ clothes.”

The attention has been “overwhelming,” she says. But her story truly shows the power of the Internet — and the power of a good deed.
